At today’s UNIFIL TCC briefing, Amb. @LokThapa2071 expressed Nepal’s deep concern over the recent deterioration of the security situation in the UNIFIL area of operations, as well as incidents affecting peacekeepers, including those involving the Nepalese peacekeepers. He called on all relevant actors to exercise maximum restraint, fully respect UNIFIL’s mandate and applicable United Nations Security Council resolutions—particularly Resolution 1701—and ensure that UN personnel can carry out their duties safely and without obstruction.

As part of commemorating #WorldWaterDay 2026 on the theme “Water and Gender Equality,” I emphasized that water is at the heart of sustainable development - linking our health, food systems, economies, ecosystems, and climate resilience. Yet, billions still lack safely managed drinking water and sanitation, while climate-induced droughts and floods are intensifying worldwide. Women and girls bear a disproportionate share of this burden. Advancing water security is therefore not only a development priority - it is a matter of dignity, justice, and gender equality. Let us ensure that no one is left behind in access to water - and that gender equality becomes the cornerstone of sustainable water governance. #SDG6 #GlobalGoals

At the World Water Day 2026 event co-hosted by Nepal, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Senegal, Tajikistan, and the United Arab Emirates, DPR @Gyanmagarmofa highlighted the profound impacts of climate change on Nepal’s water systems and mountain livelihoods. He emphasized the urgent need for gender-responsive and climate-resilient water governance, while reaffirming Nepal’s strong commitment to the global water agenda. Priorities include equitable access to safe drinking water, food security, energy, and sanitation; strengthening community-based water management; and promoting women’s leadership in water policy at all levels. #WhereWaterFlowsEqualityGrows #UNWaterConference2026 #HLPF #SDG6

Nepal joined fellow countries today in reaffirming its strong support for UNIFIL and for the safety and security of United Nations peacekeepers serving in Lebanon under challenging circumstances. Peacekeepers must never be the target of attack. We strongly condemn attacks against UN personnel, wish the injured peacekeepers a speedy and full recovery, and call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, respect international law, and fully implement the relevant Security Council resolutions.
